Columbia County OR Food
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! Saint Helens is having a Farmer's Market! Yes, it's true. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your co-workers, tell people you don't know or maybe don't even like all that much! 13 Nights on the River has paired up with us and there will be a short season Farmer's Market on Thursday nights the whole month of August. If all goes well next year it'll be a full-season market. Success depends on you! We are still recruiting interested vendors and if you're not into the food growing business you can still show your smiling face and buy a few seductive tomatoes, get that melon which thumped its way to your heart, or carry a bunch of kale around 13 Nights like a bride's bouquet. Have questions? We'll find the answer for you. Be in touch.

This weekend is the St. Johns Parade and St. Johns Bizarre. This is a great event right here in N PDX!
